Yi Song

Chapter 125 I want you to see my tricks

Liu Guozhang looked at the righteous Han Shangxian and sneered: "You bastard, do you think that being a Jinshi and hanging a sign at Donghua Gate is a big deal? You have never seen my methods!"

At these words, Han Shangxian's eyes flickered, and Li Gang, who was watching the show, felt a little embarrassed.

He also hung a sign at Donghua Gate, no, he sang famous songs.

"Liu Erlang, stop arguing with words! I am different from those vulgar warriors like Fan Sitong. I am a civil servant and a Jinshi. If you dare to lay a finger on me, all the civil servants in the world will attack you. What if you are a relative? I’ll still send you to Lingnan to eat lychees!”

Now that they had broken up with each other, Han Shangxian had no scruples and ridiculed Liu Guozhang.

"Haha, Deputy Ambassador Zhang, after you reconciled the account with Han Shangxian, who is an official in Yingtian Mansion and is also in charge of Changping warehouse affairs in Nanjing, did he admit it?"

"Admitted it. He signed the account book reconciliation and warehouse inventory, and he acknowledged the shortage of grain." Zhang Xi replied.

Han Shangxian said unceremoniously: "That's right! I am an aboveboard official, and I will do as much as I want. I will not say less or admit more. Liu Erlang, please stop being verbose and hurry up and write the impeachment memorial. I am going to have a good time." Come on, a group of Yangzhou thin horses have come to Zuihualou in the city, they are very lovely, I want to go and have a look."

With that said, he turned around and left.

"Stop!" Liu Guozhang shouted, "Deputy Envoy Zhang, you asked Han Shangxian about his corruption in Chang Pingcang. How did he react?"

Zhang Cie didn't know what was going on.

What's the reaction?

Just this reaction.

Relying on the preferential treatment given to civil servants by this dynasty and the early use of money to open up the line between heaven and earth, I am confident that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water!

"Deputy Envoy Zhang, how did Han Shangxian respond to your criticism and accountability?" Liu Guozhang continued to ask.

"Just deal with it like this, like it doesn't matter. Liu Tongzhi, you've seen it too." Zhang Xi replied.

not good! Liu Erlang is going to kill someone!

Li Gang, who was familiar with him, and the veteran soldiers on the battlefield, were keenly aware of the frightening aura exuding from Liu Guozhang and sensed his killing intent.

Han Shangxian, who was standing in front of him, also felt the cold aura emanating from Liu Guozhang and felt a little panicked.

In order to be brave, he raised his head higher, straightened his waist, and put his hands on his hips, assuming that the world had its own righteousness.

Liu Guozhang smiled softly and said, "Wrong. Han Shangxian was a Jinshi in the second year of Daguan and a good man who sang in the Donghua School. He studied hard for twenty years and read all the books of sages and moral principles, which he has always kept in his heart.

You severely reprimanded him, and he was so ashamed that after returning home he set himself on fire behind closed doors! "

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Shangxian's face instantly turned pale and he said sternly: "Liu Erlang, how dare you!"

"You will know later whether I dare or not!" Liu Guozhang said disdainfully, "Go away Ji, Pengju!"

Zhou Juan and Yue Fei came in and surrounded Han Shangxian with their own soldiers.

Han Shangxian's forehead was covered with sweat, and his hands and feet could not help but tremble.

The smart Zhang Qi immediately understood what Liu Guozhang meant and joked: "Han Tuiguan is a man who cherishes his life very much. How can he be willing to set his family on fire?"

"Can't we just help him? Everyone is burned to death. Who can tell whether there is help from others? Big eyes!"

"exist!"

"Tell Yang Xiaojie and Ma Kuo to immediately lead troops to surround Han Shangxian's house. No one is allowed to escape. All of them are gathered in one place. Then his family's money, land deeds, antiques, cloth, and everything valuable are registered and recorded. , carry them all to the military camp. Then pile up the firewood, prepare grease, and wait for the Han Tui officer to set off on the road together."

"Yes!" Zhang Meng turned around and went to deliver the order.

Han Shangxian opened his eyes wide in horror and said sternly: "Liu Erlang, how dare you do this! Can you stop the mouths of all the people in Nanjing? Can you stop the mouths of all the people in the world?"

"Nanjing City, who dares to speak nonsense? I will judge him to be your accomplice and participate in the corruption and reselling of Changpingcang grain. Could it be that he is also a Jinshi and enjoys the preferential treatment of his ancestors? He has also opened up the way up and down, and he can be like you. So confident?

What is the mouth of everyone in the world? You said it was the people who took your money? Haha, they want you to die. Once you die, the debt will be cleared. They don't have to take risks to speak up for you. They can get a lot of money for free, so why should they speak out?

Redress your grievance? Who will redress your grievances, your classmates and classmates? If anyone dares to plead grievances for you, I will go to court and impeach him as an ally. You are dead and your debts are gone, but I want the money and food from the greedy people, and I want the court to seize them from them. As you watch on the road to hell, who will speak out for you, who will redress your grievances? "

Zhang Cui, Zhong Shizhong and others found it incredible, and Han Shangxian found it even more incredible.

But if you think about it carefully, what Liu Guozhang said makes sense.

In the city of Nanjing and in the court, among the relationships he had established, which one did not recognize people but money?

The person is still here, and for the sake of money, I can exonerate him and reduce his crime. The people were gone, but those guys were secretly happy and didn't even shed a single tear.

Han Shangxian was really anxious. He was sweating all over his body. His mind kept spinning, thinking about a way to escape. Suddenly he thought of it and said quickly. "Master Liu, I am greedy for 620,000 shi of food. I am extremely corrupt. Don't you want to investigate this case, catch me and all the bugs above and below, and then recover all the food that is in short supply?"

Han Shangxian looked at Liu Guozhang eagerly, like a drowning man grasping at straws.

Liu Guozhang glanced at him disdainfully.

"I'm not Bao Qingtian, so I have no interest in investigating corruption cases or arresting corrupt officials. The corruption case in Changpingcang, Nanjing, is none of my business! I only care about having food and completing the dredging of the Bianhe River on time! What kind of pursuit? Greed of money and shortage of food are none of my business!

Aren’t you rich in officialdom? Your home was confiscated, and it cost at least two to three hundred thousand yuan. If you have money, are you afraid that you won't be able to buy food? "

The big ship that Zhao Ji was at the helm of was already riddled with holes, and I had no interest or energy to mend it. The most important thing now is to seize the time, seize resources, gather manpower, and build a ship yourself.

Official reputation, I am a person who wants to usurp the throne, why do I still care about this stuff?

Every word of Liu Guozhang's words was like an arrow shot from the divine arm bow, piercing Han Shangxian's heart.

He was devastated, looking at Liu Guozhang's smiling face, as if he saw the God of Death smiling at him, his legs went weak, and he knelt down.

"Official Liu, the criminal Han Shangxian pleads guilty and is willing to dedicate all his family property to the official just to survive."

Liu Guozhang looked at him with sarcasm and disdain.

"Han Tuiguan, I don't need you to donate the Wan Guan family property. I know the door and will move it myself! Han Jinshi, I still like your unruly behavior just now. How about you recover?"

You are a well-known good man from Donghuamen! He is a person who reads books from sages! Be brave and unyielding before you die! Let heaven and earth have their own righteousness! "

Han Shangxian was too frightened to speak and just kept kowtowing.

Liu Guozhang was very disappointed and waved his hand: "Come here, pull this guy down and make preparations."

At the second watch in the evening, Liu Guozhang came to Han Shangxian's house.

"Xiaojie, have you checked everything?"

"Everything has been searched and controlled. All valuable things that can be sold have been registered and moved to the military camp."

"Okay. Zichong, have the isolation belts around the house been removed?"

Ma Kuo replied with a strange expression: "Controller, according to your instructions, create a gap of three feet around. Every family that suffered losses will go to the Control Department to collect money tomorrow morning. Make sure that only the Han family is burned and no other place is burned. go."

"That's good. When people are about to die, they also speak kindly! Before Han Shangxian died, the goodwill in his heart was not lost. The whole family burned themselves, only burning their own homes, not other people's homes.

Pengju, you and Dayan bring Han Daguan in and keep his family in order. As officials, we must practice what we preach. If you say you want to kill his whole family, you must kill his whole family. "

The two soldiers lifted up the limp Han Shangxian and walked straight into the house.

Yue Fei stood behind, with a somewhat unbearable expression on his face.

"Control, Han Shangxian's family, including the old, weak, women and children, accompanied by servants, a total of thirty-one people, were all killed?"

Liu Guozhang watched all this with his hands behind his back and said nothing.

Zhang Meng glared at Yue Fei fiercely from the side, "You saw with your own eyes that he was greedy for 620,000 shi of food, and he was as complacent and shameless as if he had nothing to do.

How can you still sympathize with such a corrupt official? There's something wrong with your brain! "

A quarter of an hour later, a fire broke out in the main house in the backyard of Han Shangxian's house. The fire was so fierce that it quickly engulfed the entire main house.

Liu Guozhang led everyone to wait at the back door until the Han family's backyard was completely burned, and then he said: "Okay, go in and put out the fire. Don't let the fire get bigger and bigger and you can't control it. Lao Zhang!"

He called to Zhang Cui next to him, "Write the above memorial more beautifully and highlight the key points. Han Shangxian is a person who has read the books of sages. Under your accusation, he awakened his conscience, and then he was so ashamed that he burned himself behind closed doors and his family."

The house was burned to ashes, and all the money, cloth, land deeds, account books, and correspondence with others were all burned to ashes. "

Seeing the red fire, Zhang Qi's Adam's apple moved rapidly a few times and said with difficulty: "Envoy Liu, you are the official, you should write this memorial."

"I am a rough martial artist. I haven't read any books and I can't write well. I'd better trouble Deputy Ambassador Zhang to write it. You are a Jinshi. I'll be the one to sign. Alas, I still suffer from my lack of education. I can't even write a memorial. not good!

Okay, it’s been a busy day, let’s go back and have a rest. "

Looking at Liu Guozhang's back, everyone looked at each other with complicated expressions.
